You generally don't need to do these steps, unless you need to modify
anything in the files..

Ahh, yea, I see the problem.  openafs.spec says:

ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64 ia64

Try adding "ppc" to that line and then try building it again.
You probably don't need the --target=ppc -- but you might need
to tell it whether to build userspace and modules.  I don't
have a Linux/PPC to test on, and I have no idea how the kernels
are laid out.  I suspect it's closer to x86_64 than x86, where
you generally want to build both user and kernel at the same time..
The spec will need to be modified for that, too.

Yea, no need to do this.

Good Luck,  I hope I've helped.
